TA Boxall Engineering Control and automation machines

As authorised agents of leading automation manufacturers, we can bring you the following top quality products at inexpensive prices.

Switches

We have 30 mm plastic pushbuttons, switches and pilot lights from Schneider Electric and Crompton Controls. Our combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers is not only effective in controlling, protecting and separating electrical equipment but are guaranteed to last.

Switchgears are used to de-energise equipment to allow work to be carried out and to resolve issues downstream. We have the following:Biased switches
A switch usually maintains its set position once it has been operated. A biased switch contains a mechanism that springs it into a different position when an operator releases it. Some push-button switches, like the momentary, are a type of biased switch.

Our push-to-make switch is one of the most commonly used. It works by making contact when the button is pressed and breaking it when it is released. A push-to-break, on the other hand, is designed to break contact when the button is pushed.

Selector switch

The standard is IP69K and it always has integrated illumination option. They come in a range of different colours and the switch position is obvious, even from afar. With our range of switch configurators, you can choose the appropriate selector switch by intuition.

The enclosures and labelling can be combined to match particular application requirements, as well as, graphics-based component selection with a drag and drop feature. We also provide a section to preview, so this makes it easier for you to select the item you need.

Relays

Relays are electromechanical switches that can be activated by an electrical signal instead of manually opening or closing a switch. Throughout the history of electronics, relays have featured prominently, particularly in the growth of the telegraph network.

There are various types of standard relay configurations, but it eventually boils down to poles and throws. In a relay system, the pole is a switch, and the throw is a possible connection.

The most basic type of relay is a single pole single throw (SPST), which has a dual port, A and B. A single pole signifies a single switch, also indicating that there is only one possible connection (A–> B). When the SPST is switched off, A is disconnected electrically from B.

A standard SPDT (single pole double throw) relay has three ports; A, B and C. In the off position, the SPDT relay may connect A and B, while A and C may be connected in the on position. In an electromagnetic relay, an electric current is used to activate the relay. The current generates a magnetic field that moves the relay’s armature which is used to make or break a connection. A high-power relay uses a double-break design which opens connections in two points. On the other hand, smaller relays are mainly single-break designs.

Established in 1935, a small family engineering firm has evolved into a successful multi million pound business, providing a wide range of products and services to local enterprises and large multi nationals alike. Every client enjoys and benefits from the same focused delivery approach ensuring that each and every job is completed to the highest standards

Quality

With over 80 years experience of delivering quality service and solutions to our clients, we always seek to enhance not just our reputation, but our partners’ too. Service and quality underpin everything that we do. Experience counts.

Experience working with simple and complex electrical, mechanical or building needs.

Our clients choose to work with us again on their next project and trust us to deliver.

At TA Boxall Engineering, we offer a complete line of robust and versatile contractors for both NEMA and IEC applications. Our IEC contactors provide AC and DC control. In addition to being adaptable, they are also environmentally friendly. Our NEMA contactors are robust, dependable and provide a long electrical life span.

Combination contactors

Our NEMA Combination contactors are available in both circuit breaker or a disconnect switch, set upon a common device. Our products are also equipped with a diverse range of enclosures to match different application needs.

IEC contactors
TA Boxall Engineering’s IEC contactors provide AC and DC control. They are environmentally safe, flexible and strong. They provide complete protection for you while giving full performance to other devices. Some examples include:

Capacitor-switching contactors

Standard contactors

Safety contactors

Miniature contactors

NEMA Contactors
Our motor-rated contactors range from NEMA size 00 to 9, in designs (open and closed) for full voltage activation of AC motors. In addition, our contactors are effective in lighting and non-motor loads. We also provide a series of NEMA contactors with certification for marine and other offshore uses.

Benefits

Besides its efficient design, TA Boxall Engineering contactors provide a fast and easy set-up while preserving the small size of 45 and 55 mm (40 to 65 A). It also adheres strictly to international specifications.

The 40 to 65 A models have EverLink. This terminal technology guarantees a steadfast fastening even when there is a conductor creep.

Application

Applications for contactors include industry, large buildings, and infrastructure. They can be used to develop motor starters for certain applications.

Our contactors are designed for direct incorporation into control systems, and can also be used to power controls and signal equipment.

DC injections

DC injections are used to slow AC electric motors. In industry, they are applied by injecting a DC voltage into the AC motor winding after disconnecting the AC voltage, thereby applying a braking force to the rotor.

Application of DC injection braking

When power is disconnected from the motor, the rotor spins on its own for a while until the resulting friction brings it to a stop. Massive rotors and loads with a high moment of inertia, take a considerable amount of time to stop rotating through friction alone. To reduce downtime, or probably as a safety measure, DC injection can be used to halt the rotation.

At TA Boxall Engineering, we have a range of low-loss high-performance DC injectors, designed for use when DC power needs to be coupled with an RF coaxial transmission line. Contact our support team for more details.

Product collection and delivery for monitoring and diagnosis

If you have issues with your control gear, such as switching, relays, contactors of DC injectors, our company operates a product collection and delivery service. We will conduct a series of tests to monitor and identify the fault before repairing it.

We can cross-reference outdated parts and machines, either making “new for old” or finding replacements. We can also contact different manufacturers.

Just a few words to thank you for the excellent service over the last eight weeks. As you know, we were let down at the last minute so thank you for stepping up and saving the project from disaster! Thanks for the electrical work, the project management and even for Peter coming out to site and checking everything worked in advance of our arrival. Much appreciate. Best regards.

Cassie Weston – Premium Labs

I have used Boxall for many years and have always received great service. It is the personal attention to detail that the engineers always provide that makes this a great company to work with. Nothing is too much trouble and they always leave our operations clean and tidy. Thanks everyone.
